1996
Svetlana Masterkova
The Mémorial Van Damme inaugurates a new Mondo-track resulting in an avalanche of top performances.

The fast lanes were mastered by Denis Mitchell (10.03), Gail Devers (10.84), Frankie Frederiks (19.92) and Michael Johnson (44.29).

Even a rain soaked track couldn't stop Allen Johnson running a superb 12.92!

And what about Kipketer (1.42.77),Daniel Komen (7.25.87) or even Hicham El Guerrouj (3.29.05)?

And then two world records. Svetlana Masterkova wiped out the previous year's defeat with a new world record. Salah Issou not only broke the 10.000 m world record, he smashed it, lowering it into 26.38.08
